not once but twice

Never buy an i30. he's such an awesome car that all other cars are jealous of him. and they keep wanting to hurt him.

and look wat happened to it. Yet Again! Remember the last time the incident with the car's butt at westmall... and now this! Wat the...*** it's only been 4mths man...jeez.

poor car. but it wasn't me!

as u can see...there are bad scratches everywhere...the bumper has fallen off slightly...the lights are scratched and the fender (not in the pic) is out of shape too. since the lights are scratched ...it can't be me scrapping it against some pillar.

i only remember i went to A's house to bai nian and i still rem it was fine then..and then we went for lunch at the foodcourt around holland drive..and then i din really check it. and then at nite after coming home with my parents...my dad was like "aiyo what's that?"

...

from the look of it..some retard must have reversed into it. and it shd have been at the holland drive carpark. good luck to your car mr retard..i hope u fall into a pit (together with your car) soon. Grr.

Brought the car to komoco to be assessed and the guy said the usual practice is they replace the whole bumper..and light...1000+ bucks! siao...no way are we paying for that! dad asked the guy if he had any lobang..and he mentioned his fren who can pick up the car and send it back in 3daes...about 500bucks. which got my dad mad too...cos it sounded so dubious. so we went to the workshop at alexandra who fixed the sonata last time and it offered a much better rate of 200..they'll just knock back and respray..sigh. still. 200bucks to pay for an a-hole's work. Gotta send in the car tomorrow morning and get it back in the evening. Sigh...i 'm supposed to be on a money-saving mode now...Urghz. Now i'm really hoping he falls into a pit soon.

december 1

first day of the last month in 2008.
hmm.
nothing special about todae for me i guess. just the same start to the usual boring work week.
Not that i'm complaining. having a job beats not having one at all of cos.
in fact..i'm counting my blessings.
whilst surrounded by all these bad news recently... gloomy economic outlook in 2009...mumbai and bangkok events..and the unfortunate incident of the girl whose bright life was brutally taken away in incredible india...
i dunno. i guess for now..i'm not that looking forward to the new year.

oh. todae also happens to be world aids day. i heard on the radio this morning. and the DJ said that there was someone (i tink i heard also that he had leukaemia or something) and later they discovered that his aids virus had disappeared. so that's a miracle for u. but watever. it just reminded me of the recent aids drama serial they were showing on channel 8. i tink it depicted well the situations and emotional trauma the aids patient and his family had to go thru'. good job chen hanwei and mediacorp.

but i digress.
the series of unfortunate events sparks off tots that we needa treasure those around us. to be more giving. to be less persistent on nitty gritty issues. to learn to forgive and forget. after all..who can guarrantee for sure when's the next time u can talk to your loved ones again? so tell them how much u love and care for them. Loudly.

to my dear fren F: i guess no words from us friends can alleviate the pain u're going through now. but i guess when things hit rock bottom..there will be no other way except up. we'll be behind ya! hope it will be 雨过天晴 soon~

Life's lil' ironies~

someone who's

so near yet so far

so different yet so similar

but i've learnt to cherish

and can no longer be without.

Mr. 555

i dunno wat i've been busy with recently... haven't blogged like since 2mths? or maybe my life has been too mundane. nope that wasn't a complaint..i like routines (most of the time). that includes poupee, facebook, jogging and car-washing.

so ya. many incidents with the new car recently.

Car-washing incident:
1. i was washing the car on thursday. Mr 555 (so named bcos of the license plate on his flashy black mercedes) was already there. he was scrubing hard away at one of his tyres. hmm..i thought. should be at the last stage of washing liao. so anywaes i did mine... splash on the water. scrub. soap. scrub. splash on water. Mr 555 was STILL on that same tyre---scrubing splashing scrubing AT THE SAME tyre. jeez. some lady (dunno wife or maid) came down to look for him and help him a bit to lay the mats in his car..and then i overheard her telling him "if someone asks u how long u take the wash the car..its like 3 daes. 1day to wash the car body..1 day to wash the tyres..and one day for dunno wat". Mr 555 laughed and said "ya nobody washes tyres only i do"

i think he wasted a lot of water on those tyres which are gonna get dirty the moment he drives off.

Carpark incidents:
1. i couldn't find the silly car park at pearl's centre. does it ever exist in the first place? i wish they could mark on the singapore maps where are the entrances to the carparks. they are sometimes not v obvious. sorry to say..but i've been rather sad ever since streetdirectory.com was forced to close down. i tink it was sooo much more helpful with the driving directions and all.

2. i finished off ktv last fri nite at 1am..and then the doors to the people's park centre were closed. can't get to the lift to get to the carpark. Went into 7-11 and asked the cashier if he knew where else i can find another lift. he dunno. so i asked him where's the security guard post. "at the end of the building", he said. Chinatown is not such an exciting place to walk at nite. There were no signs of men in uniforms. Only tired people sleeping by the roadside. Grr..does this mean i have to climb up the ramps for 3 storeys to get to the car. No choice. called my dear and was ranting to him all the way. heheh. And then yay. Saw a couple of security guards stuck behind the glass doors of the building. So i started charades with them on how to go up. and they started shouting instructions through the holes between the glass doors. it was like "walk here, there..blahblahblah" Urr..i'm already halfway in the climb and i'm not gonna climb down and walk elsewhere to find a cargo lift which may not exist lor. So i continued..*pant*

3. Parked at westmall to meet A for dinner. Nicely parked. Came back to pickup the car after dinner. N saw. this 7seater plastered into the butt of i30.
&#^%*(&^*#$
Snapped pics and took down the license plate.
and then big burly foreigner came along with his whole family. so it was him.
confronted him "eh wat are u doing?"
he said oh i din noe your car was there...and i tink he really din noe. otherwise i cannot figure out why he would leave his car in that state and go for dinner.
he reversed out (finally) so that i could check.
initially i only saw a small dot of black paint. urghz. if i were to collect damages from him then it's like too much trouble. ok lah
"U drive carefully next time!"
he apologised and then left. and then A was looking from the side and said "urr..it looks slightly dented"
urghhzzz...
and then. i forgot to take down his contact no. Stewpid.
ok la..it wasnt that obvious. but Still.
and i already parked way away from the parking white line and he could still overshot so much. or maybe his driving habits are that stop only when u hit something.
Just my luck. Hope his 7seater gets bulldozed over..Mr xxx. (i needa get the license plate no. from A).

The Double EE

i was tinking about this again while i was jogging just now. my sis sent me a link to this exercise article the other dae...i forgot the link already. but i remember the 2 golden lines which i quote the author--
Eat for weight management.
Exercise for joy.

Hmm.
Talking about food for your thoughts. hehe.
Oh well.

Some of us might beg to differ with this school of thought.
Eat for joy.
Exercise for weight managenent.

For me...
Eat for weight management.
Exercise for weight management.
Love for joy.

WHY??!

are there certain days that u just start off rotten and then nothing good seems to be happening for the whole dae...

so i woke up todae with a headache... and groggy though i slept early last nite.
and then there was the traffic jam all the wae from home to office.
and then i tried to park the car but ended up too near to the pillar and the rubber thingy attached to the car door came off. so i had to spend like 20min trying to find a way to hook that thingy back on. just when my mom reminded me to be careful about the car cos we're gonna trade it in soon. Urghz. stuff like that always happens..murphy's law~
and then my boss rushed in..wundering if i finished my work. and i said i sent it in yesterdae..but he couldn't find the email. and when he finally did..he asked me why the wrong subject title was used. then he said..."it's ok..i'll send it out again"

#$%^#&$^%#$^$#&^%%#$

HUH. like it's my fault! should have asked the more senior one who submitted the project. duh.

and then my pimple on my nose just kept ballooning up. despite all my corrective measures. so i'm rudolph again.

STOP!

stop tat rain!

well..actually i do like the rain sometimes. i like dat it's nice and cool when i go to bed. and i like the pittar-patter on the rooftop when i'm at work.

but all that wetness throughout the past week has been damaging my exercise routine.

so no jogging along the pavements and no swimming. and yesh i'm still scared of trying the treadmill in the gym. haha.

urghz.

so i feel my cheeks are bloating up again. storing food in there for a disaster. probably getting enough to survive an earthquake..typhoon..hurricane..landslide..blahblah.

and my chin! my double chin!

but oh well..actually no amount of jogging is going to significantly reduce tat flub on my face..u noe dat. i noe dat. everyone noes dat. but still... every effort counts i guess.

so there..i'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed for fine weather this evening.
